>>>>>here in the UK I tend to watch Aljazeera news.<<<<<

I went to AJ briefly because they were running a live stream when all the Indian feeds were whacky due to government contraints (aka censorship).

Over at the Beeb stream they managed to make two outrageous statements in 30 seconds, one was to call the attacks “a concentrated assault on American and British citizens” (paraphrase).

A little weird since at the time there were ZERO known American casualties and even now it’s less than 1/2 of 1 percent.

Click!

NDTV stream is OK. Better than IBN which is very CNN-like and also bombastic.

Beeb and US MSM want to associate the attacks with US foreign policy.

CNN was over the top with that angle the first night of the attacks.

Yep - strange stuff that - it was the ordinary Indians that were getting shot by the dozen and the Jews were being targeted in a systematic way. Tragic to make the whole thing so parochial.
